The worst experience closing on a house.

I have used them multiple times and they have me as a life long customer!! easy and smooth closings when buying or selling

Parast Law & their team provides an excellent customer experience to all parties of the real estate transaction. They communicate quickly and do their part to deliver a smooth closing. Their attention to detail & service sets them apart from the rest. No more boring & awkwardly silent closings. You will be sure to walk out with more than just a new keychain. Make sure to ask for Harold when you’re there.

I have known JoAnna Smith for 15 years, since we attended Emory Law. In her career as a family law attorney, she has fought fearlessly for her clients. She is a great listener, has solid judgment, and is very organized and no nonsense. I would trust her with my life.

JoAnna Smith is a superstar! She works incredibly hard, making sure you feel supported and educated about the process. She truly cares about the people she works with and takes the time to understand their unique situations. You can tell her the good bad and the ugly - she listens with compassion and without judgement. I recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and dedicated attorney.

Bob Hope was wonderful to work with. He explained, with great detail, what each document meant and made for a pleasant closing experience. He even went above and beyond to look further into some further details and information that he did not have to. Bob was very easy to communicate with a made our closing experience actually enjoyable. Would highly recommend Parast and their partners for any real estate closing needs

There's no better finish line to a real estate transaction than using Parast Law to facilitate the closing. Their welcoming atmosphere, knowledge of the industry, and attention to detail is unmatched! It's always a pleasure to close with them and I highly recommend them to anyone who will listen.

JoAnna J. Smith, who is a Family Law Attorney, Mediator, and Guardian Ad Litem, who works for this firm, was our mediator during the divorce proceedings in June 2024. I did not want to review the law firm itself, just the individual, Ms. JoAnna J. Smith, but, I did not see an option in Google review to add a review just for this individual, thus, I will apologize in advance. In the Mediation agreement both parties signed, and what I have been informed in regard to the responsibilities of a mediator, they are supposed to be unbiased. Which means, what was said and volunteered by the other party, should not have had any effect or influence during the process, nor should JoAnna have tried to persuade myself and my attorney to make decisions that was not best for myself. I also volunteered information as to what I have been through prior to the divorce and what was taken from me, emotionally and financially, etc, but JoAnna was still prejudicial against me. It was very clear to myself and even my attorney agreed by making a statement, "after all my years as an attorney, I've never heard a mediator being blatantly biased," which JoAnna seemed very vocal in siding with the 'Respondent,' as I was the 'Petitioner.' During this time, my attorney should have asked her to recuse herself from this mediation and ask for another mediator, which I would have been willing to pay extra money if we needed another mediator, but, that was not the case. In the Mediation agreement, the mediator is not supposed to 'give any legal advise,' she verbally stated to the Petitioner that it was not a good option for the Respondent to either re-fi the house, nor sell the house, nor Heloc a loan and stated the Respondent does not have the funds and should not proceed with anyone of these options. As the Petitioner, I was not asking a lot of money, but, that did not seem to matter with JoAnna. JoAnna explained the process of Heloc a loan, and we wanted to pursue other avenues, but she was sounding like the Respondent's lawyer. Yes, I agree my attorney should have strongly voiced other avenues to benefit myself, but, since he heard how blatantly the mediator was biased, he should have also asked her to recuse herself from this mediation. Divorce is hard enough, and having professional people that are supposed to be unbiased, was tougher for me through the divorce proceedings and I felt like JoAnna didn't care what I had been through, and she showed it by vocalizing her opinion and her 'legal advise.'

As a loan officer the real estate attorney pays a vital role in a speedy and smooth process to closing on time. I’ve only had professional and exceptional experiences with Parast Law. The office has a positive vibe and my clients feel prioritized, important, and well taken care of. Thank you for being a great partner Parast Law.
